This research aimed to study the psychophysiological response in a HAHO parachute jump. A HAHO jump, jump at 18,000 feet and opening at 16,000 feet, was evaluated in one warfighter of the Paratrooper Brigade of the Spanish Army. Before and after the HAHO jump parameters of muscle strength, cortical arousal, blood levels of creatinekinase and glucose, rated of perceived exertion and specific fine motor skills were assessed. During the jump heart rate, autonomic modulation and accelerometry were evaluated. The data shows as a HAHO jump caused an increased sympathetic modulation, reaching values of maximum heart rate of 175 beats per minute, a decreased in cortical arousal and muscle strength, an increased blood levels of creatinekinase, a maintenance of blood glucose, a rated of perceived exertion lower than the assessed organic response and no effect on specific fine motor skills of the warfighter.
